Is 4/10 equivalent to 1/4

The answer is NO


(4)/(10) is the same as
(2*2)/(2*5)

When the twos cancel out, you are left with
(2)/(5) which is not equal to
(1)/(4)

No, if you reduced 4/10 it would be 2/5, not 1/4. The the answer to your question is no.

Also 2/5 is equivalent to 0.4 and 1/4 is equivalent to 0.25.
